Happy to say I've noticed an improvement too. Now the mav screen only drops my fps down by about 10 - from mid 50's down to mid 40's I'm guessing this is to be expected?? Not related but just wanted to say - for us older guys who's eyes are not perhaps as good as they used to be the new enlarged model option is really great. Regards, Gary

Have you tried forcing full screen (Lalt+Enter) on the menu screen too?

Same here...was the same with my previous laptop too...but never presented me any problems...instead of keyboard \ being the comms menu (mine is reported as oem12 too) it was the # key instead...but worked the same. Regards, Gary

Cool video. Congrats on a really great mod...its a game changer for single player.

Completely clean install and nothing copied over at all. New config and logbook created. It happens irrespective of of detail settings. As mentioned above...it can drop from 90fps to 60fps with minimum details setting or from 40fps down to 20fps with high settings.

Been a little while since I've used 1.2.16 as 1.5 (beta) is available now. I'd urge you to switch. Fps are much better and its a completely new graphics engine. Doesnt mean you might not have any problems but its a much better platform to start with anyway. In 1.5 you can choose "preload" settings. For me at least these do affect stuttering. The more you can preload the lesss stutter...however, you more you preload the more fps you lose. Just got to find the sweet spot for your rig. (Can't remember if 1.2.16 had a similar setting or not?) Hope this helps.

FLIR Changing preload doesnt make any difference. Today I tried and minimised out all 3 sliders to the far left (clutter, trees, the rest) i.e. the least preload possible. It does of course give you more fps (but more stutter) but the FLIR issue is still present. Instead of dropping from 40 fps down to 20....it drops from 90 down to 70 - the same % drop basically. Seems to be across all sorts of rigs...some with 4 gig...most with 2 No common CPU...no common HOTAS...AMD & Nividia...all sorts of driver versions....its a proper mystery!! (Check Raptors posts...he's done a load of tests) Regards, Gary

Viacom My install is completely new. New PC and fresh install of 1.5 only on this machine. I did have both side by side like you on the previous machine but not on this new one.

Changing my preload distance didnt have any effect.

Missing lua's I've done the file path edit and running as admin on the latest version but I still get the errors on start up. No big deal for me really as the programme still works when im recognised, which is really not very often, but I'll persevere with that part. I love this mod!

I've added my rig details as requested. Only thing I haven't tried from the above list is a smaller preload...so I'm on that now :) Will let everyone know

No "DoF" here...I knew that was a killer a long time ago. And that would affect fps at all times surely...not just when the FLIR was activated. I'm no programmer but would seem logical to me that this issue would be related to the issues others have posted about regarding Shval?

Opps....just done a quick count to try and rebuke that comment and I've actually posted 11 times in here!! I will keep trying my end as suggested.

There are more posts in this FLR - FPS killer sub-thread than all the other performance sub threads combined. Hope something can be found to cure (or help) with this...

Just to clarify please? Are you saying nobody at ED, including yourself, sees any FPS drop at all when the FLIR is in use?

Please do the key binds video - I think this is where I struggle most to understand. Kind Regards, Gary

I've spent the evening reading the manual....If this works anywhere near half as well as the manual suggests its going to be a real game changer for those who don't already voice recognition of some sort or another!! For those that do - Id urge you to just have a look at the manual and range of options available...you never know....might suprise you!! Holywood...what can I say...looks amazing!! I really need to get this up and running. My congratulations to you.... Kind Regards, Gary

I need my BS1 key and its not listed under "details" like all my other modules in my account? I did buy it in 2008 and I have my bs1 to bs2 upgrade key but I cant complete the upgrade until bs1 is activated!! Purchase details below 29336 11-12-2008

Just noticed you can "load" controller profiles mid flight. I know you could change assignments before but not load a profile?

Can I just ask a very simple question please?? Has this been reported as a bug yet or not? We are on page 11 of this discussion now!! Thanks... Gary

This process needs to be much clearer in my opinion. I thought i'd take advantage of the offer and purchased C.A Never got the bonus discount... Almost certainly an error my end I'm sure...but never came across any obvious choice about using the bonus I have. Gary

Just to confirm the HUD mod (makes text larger) is working fine with my 1.5 install.

I have no idea if the steam 32bit version differs from the DCS website download version or not. I would imagine though that any 32bit version you got working would also work with the A10c....but I'm no expert....all at your own risk!

This might help if you are happy to use steam? Originally Posted by c0ff a couple of notes about 1.5: - We won't build 32-bit binaries anymore. The users of 32-bit systems will stop getting the updates. Steam users will have to switch to a special 'beta' to keep using 32-bit DCS (locked at 1.2.16).
